My View

When I took the reins at Citizens Property Insurance Corp., I knew I was taking on a challenge. I'd been brought in not to babysit, but to fix an organization facing serious internal and external challenges. I have made a career of doing this successfully.

I cannot change what happened before my tenure at Citizens. What I can do is make changes to dramatically improve this organization going forward. My goal is to make Citizens an industry and state model. I therefore have devoted myself from day one to making changes to improve the organization's efficiency, ethics and fiscal health.
